Most programs don’t require a PPD file be loaded loaded when you print. In fact, you don’t need
to load a PPD when printing from Photoshop or CorelDRAW on a Windows platform. How-
ever, earlier versions of Adobe Illustrator are an exception to this rule. To print an image from an
earlier version of Illustrator you will need to specify a PPD to use.
In this section we will outline the processes to follow
if you are using Illustrator ver. 10 or below. In the next section we will cover the newer Illustrator
CS versions.
Select 1. Print from the File menu.
Choose your FastRIP Epson printer and
then click on Properties. Set the Page
Size and click on Advanced. Choose
your FastRIP function.
Return to the 2. Print menu and click on
the Separation Setup button.
In the 3. Separation Setup window most
of the options are gray and not avail-
able. is is because a PPD has not been
loaded yet that will tell Illustrator how
to output color separations. Select Open
PPD.
